You know how it is when you get your child’s portrait taken and you must go through the agonizing decision of picking 2 or 3 cute poses out of 50?

So you ask a friend… “Which one of these 2 do you like better?”

She responds, “Oh, I thought they were the same.”

“Oh, no”, you protest, “See, in this one he’s just breaking a smile and in this one he’s just finishing a smile”!

Well, I wanted to give you a Noisy Nora progress report. I’ve got all 5 bodies done, with ears and noses, I just need to add arms, tails and face detail. I did finish Nora. Since I couldn’t decide which picture I liked best, I included a few. They are different… really 🙂 I’ve also been working on the clothing patterns for them. Hopefully, I will have Step 2 up in the next couple of days. In the meantime, let me introduce you to Naked Nora!
